Komga is an open-source comic and eBook server that allows you to organize and access your digital comics and books from any device. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Komga on Pop!_OS Latest.
Before we begin with the installation process, you must have the following:
Komga requires Java 11 or later to run. You can check if Java is already installed on your system by running the following command in your terminal:
java -version
If you have Java installed, you should see output that starts with "openjdk version". If Java isn't installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless
You can download the latest version of Komga from the official Komga website. Navigate to the Downloads section, and download the Linux binary that corresponds to your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where you saved the file, and extract the contents by running the following command:
tar xvf komga-x.x.x.tar.gz
Replace "x.x.x" with the version number of the file you downloaded.
Next, rename the extracted folder to "komga" by running the following command:
mv komga-x.x.x komga
Again, replace "x.x.x" with the version number.
To start Komga, navigate to the "komga" folder by running the following command:
cd komga
Next, run the following command to start the server:
./komga
Once the server is running, you can access Komga by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
You should see the Komga login screen. The default username is "admin" and the default password is "admin". We recommend that you change the default password after logging in for the first time.
That's it! You have successfully installed Komga on your Pop!_OS system. You can now organize and access your digital comics and books from anywhere, using any device.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
